dana bash, our cnn congressional cour correspondent from capitol hill is joining us. it doesn't look that way yet, does it? >> we think it's bad they're not talking to each other, but if it ends up like that in certain part it is of the world, not talking is not such a bad thing. >> it hasn't evolved into that yet. where are we with the idea of compromi compromise? is there any solution to not going over the fiscal cliff? >> reporter: we heard a lot of the same today from leaders in both parties. from the speaker coming out and saying the president's got to put more spending cuts on the table and from the democratic leaders say that the republicans just have to give on agreeing to raise tax rates for the wealthy. no. guess what? we heard from dthem that the house speaker is going home this weekend. he's not going to be here. they'll hopefully talk to the phone, but no face-to-face meetings. >> dana you talked to a couple of guys that spent careers in congress making deals, and they talk about you how they did it. tell us a little bit about that, the insights here. >>

dana, thanks very much. i want to bring in sunny hostin who is legal contributor for "in session" on trutv. what do you make of this hiring of an illegal immigrant in the united states but also a registered sex offender? >> well, you know, it's odd that the senator's office would not haveuncover at least his immigration status because he entered the country from peru on a visitor's visa. the fact that it had expired is certainly something the office would have been able to figure out. it's a little more challenging when it comes to his sex offender status. because he's 18 years old now. my understanding, wolf, is that he violated some, he was convicted of some sort of crime, probably in 2010. he would have been 16 years old. he would have been tried and convicted as a juvenile. and oftentimes, those particular sex offender records are not public. so if you look his name up, let's say, in the public registry, that would not come up. that is not to say, however, that a thorough background check would not refle

dana, what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, we were told first earlier today by democratic source that part of the reason why that phone call between the president and the speaker didn't go so well to put it mildly is because part of the republican counteroffer they sent to the white house yesterday included a renewed call for, quote, permanent tax cuts for the wealthiest americans. now, we know that that is a nonstarter in general for the president. he said it ump team times, but the democrats at the white house felt that to put the word permanent in a republican offer made clear according to the source i talked to that it was -- that they just don't understand what needs to be done to get something to pass the senate and the house, or to get more importantly the president to sign something. that's one of the main reasons why there is a lot of tension today. i can tell you on the republican side, the speaker wasn't happy because he simply does not think, and he said this in private to republicans today as we
